Background: In most clubfoot studies, the outcome instruments used are designed to evaluate classification or long-term cross-sectional results. Variables deal mainly with factors on body function/structure level. Wide scorings intervals and total sum scores increase the risk that important changes and information are not detected. Studies of the reliability, validity and responsiveness of these i

Glukosamin ingår i glykosaminoglykaner i ledbrosk och synovialvätska. Tidigare gavs glukosamin som kosttillskott, men det klassificeras numera som ett icke-steroidliknande, antiinflammatoriskt läkemedel. Det beror på att flera kliniska studier har visat att glukosamin kan ge symtomlindring hos en del patienter med lätt till måttlig knäartros. Det brukar ta 2 - 4 veckor innan symtomlindringen kan m

Soil C effluxes were measured at five forest stands with different vegetation and a meadow in southeastern Sweden (57¡5«N, 16¡7«E). Exponential regressions of soil respiration against air and soil temperatures were used to model soil respiration at forests stands. For the meadow, a light response curve with gross primary production (GPP) against PAR and a cubic regression with GPP against air temp

We present two new methods for finding a lowest common ancestor (LCA) for each pair of vertices of a directed acyclic graph (dag) on n vertices and m edges. The first method is surprisingly natural and solves the all-pairs LCA problem for the input dag on n vertices and m edges in time 0 (n m). The second method relies on a novel reduction of the all-pairs LCA problem to the problem of finding max

Storlekens betydelse i en hämningslös värld. Det storslagna och det sublima. Kommentar och referens till Erling Fossen, Rem Koolhaas, Edmund Burke, Immanuel Kant, Luce Irigaray och Kenneth Frampton.

The aim of this study was to determine whether the frequency and quality of reported life events during the 6 months before pregnancy to mid-pregnancy influence gestational age at birth. Seventy nulliparous women were studied at 12 and 25 gestational weeks with a 64-item self-rated life event questionnaire developed for obstetric groups. Life events were categorised into eight psychosocial areas a

We present a method for pharmacokinetic modeling of distributions of In-111-labeled monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) on individual pixels of planar scintillation-camera images. Methods: The method is applied to 2 sets of clinical whole-body images, each consisting of 6 consecutive images acquired over a week. Quantification is performed on a pixel basis, yielding images in units of Bq/pixel. The image

Anaerobic biodegradation of fermented spent sulphite liquor, SSL, which is produced during the manufacture of sulphite pulp, was investigated. SSL contains a high concentration of lignin products in addition to hemicellulose and has a very high COD load (173 g COD 1(-1)). Batch experiments with diluted SSL and pretreated SSL indicated a potential of 12-22 1 methane per hire SSL, which corresponds

Popular Abstract in Swedish Spraytorkning är ett vanligt sätt att tillverka partiklar från en lösning. Genom att finfördela lösningen med hjälp av gas i ett spraymunstycke bildas miljontals små vätskedroppar, som blandas med varm torkgas i en torkkammare. Då avdunstar vätskan och fasta, torra partiklar bildas. Tekniken kan användas för att tillverka inhalationspartiklar för användning som läkemedeThe interest in spray drying for production of inhalable particles has grown considerably since the late 1980s. However, which process variables that control degradation and the solid state properties have not been subject to extensive research. This thesis deals with how important characteristics of inhalation particles can be controlled, i.e. particle size, morphology, degradation and crystalli

A review article discussing five books on Church, National Socialism and Anti-Semitism: Lars I. Andersson, Mellan Katyn och Auschwitz; Henrik karlsson, Det fruktade märket; Hans Mikosch, Trotz Hakenkreuz und Ährenkranz; Johan Perwe, Bombprästen; Elias Rubinstein, Svenska kyrkan och "den slutliga lösningen" på judefrågan i Norge.

The Arabidopsis MAP kinase 4 (MPK4) substrate MKS1 was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified, full-length, 6x histidine (His)-tagged MKS1 was phosphorylated in vitro by hemagglutinin (HA)-tagged MPK4 immuno-precipitated from plants. MKS1 phosphorylation was initially verified by electrophoresis and gel-staining with ProQ Diamond and the protein was digested by either trypsin or chymotrypsin f

Nonshivering thermogenesis induced in brown adipose tissue (BAT) during high-fat feeding is mediated through uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1). UCP2 is a recently identified homologue found in many tissues. To determine the role of UCP1 and UCP2 in thermoregulation and energy balance, we investigated the long-term effect of high-fat feeding on mRNA levels in mice at two different ambient temperatures. W

The reaction between pyrite (natural iron (II) disulfide) powder and potassium alkylxanthate has been studied in aqueous solution. Qualitative analysis of the compounds present on pyrite surfaces before and after treatment with ethylxanthate ions under different oxidation conditions has been performed by means of diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy. Atomic absorptio

Since many of the data offered in his text, and many of his conclusions, give the indication of agreeing with what is more or less loosely termed process psychology, I would like to try my own hand at drawing a theoretical sketch of how images can be conceptualized within a theory of perception. The sketch agrees basically with what Quill, inspired by Whitehead, takes to be the requirements of a t

The susceptibility pattern of Mycobacterium marinum was determined. Quinupristin-dalfopristin and telithromycin were less active than clarithromycin. Linezolid showed good antimicrobial activity at clinically achievable concentrations. Gatifloxacin, levofloxacin, and moxifloxacin displayed activities similar to those of ciprofloxacin. Gemifloxacin was less active. The Etest method showed variable

The cubic phase of monoolein (MO) has successfully been used for crystallization of membrane proteins. It is likely that the transition to a lamellar phase upon dehydration is important for the crystallization process, and that the internal dimensions of the lipid phases (i.e., water pore diameter) are crucial for the inclusion and the diffusion of membrane proteins. In the present study, we inves
